drop the loot

last night i was waylaid by pirates usual "alright drop the loot" message
i did i only had some scrap metal and it wasnt worth the effort
on a whim i decided to try hitting the tractor just after
boy were they annoyed !!
"where did it go it was right there i almost had it" the comments were almost comical
but basically the thought was ,a whole new set of ai dialogue i hadent heard !
made a change from keep it icy man

Last time that happened to me, and i dropped it, i mysteriously blew up when my shield was down

Phooey. I need a new quote.

Drop it (if its crap) and theyll say thanks! And your rep goes up ever so slightly! Man I love doing that to cops! Drop it, put your ship in to cruise speed, beam it back up and hope to dear God your shields reactivate on time....

I find that when I get that kind of message, if I don't respond to it (don't click on drop cargo or refuse), but just keep on going, , or engage my cruise engines right away, I can often get away before any trouble starts.

Yes, absolutely everything I post, including this, is spam.

I got back into the Blood Dragons' good graces, thanks to the "Drop it!" bit. The Hogosha in their crappy ships tried to hijack my cargo outside of a space station. I refused and when they attacked just blasted them. I went back into the station and sold THEIR cargo, and got the same demand from more Hogosha when I came out again. Blast them ... back into to sell it, and out to fight the now hostile Hogosha. I did this about 8 times, making scads of money ... and found the BDs loved me once again. Great way to improve your standing.
